  • Everton are understood to hold a one-year extension clause that could keep Garner under contract until 2027 and would push any fee above £20m, as reported locally.
  • Garner told FourFourTwo he has heard nothing about new terms, even as reporting suggests Everton are expected to offer a deal in due course.
  • David Moyes has praised Garner’s form and versatility, with the midfielder starting all 11 league games this season and contributing a goal and an assist.
